Raleigh location - overall decent time, little disorganized
I went to an event in Raleigh and it was only my second time speed dating and first with MyCheekyDate. Here’s what I liked: the location of the event was cool, I like the scoring method to help make my final decisions for the night, and I did meet some interesting people. I’m docking one star though because I was led to believe by the website that I would be greeted at the door/check in and that was not the case. I ended up having to ask a waiter/bartender where to go since there were no signs and it wasn’t clear. When I got to the room, it was a lot of singles sitting around and we all seemed to be unsure if we were in the right place. Once a couple of us confirmed with each other there was some mingling happening but it wasn’t clear to us if that was all we were supposed to do or where the host was. Eventually the host did show up and went around a checked everyone in and we eventually got started. Looking back at it now, the Kentucky Derby was playing in the main area of the bar (as opposed to the side room where the event was being held) and I think he was out there for a bit watching that. So eventually it all worked out, but definitely felt a little disorganized at first. Guy to Girl ratio also seemed to be okay, there were a couple more guys than girls so the guys had a rotation where they had a little break as opposed to the girls who didn’t really get one. Loved the waiter working the room though! He made sure us girlies got our refills since we didn’t have the same opportunity to have a mini-break.
